I want to slideUp the current content then slideDown the clicked content with jQuery

I want the current content to slideUp and then slideDown the clicked content and I am stumped on why the code I have won't work. It just slides down the text . content. Any help much appreciated!
$(document).ready(function() {
$('nav ul a').click(function(){
var newTopicText = $(this).html();
$('#topic').fadeOut(function () {
$('#topic').text(newTopicText).fadeIn();
$(".contentContainer").slideUp(1500, function() {
$(".contentContainer").html('.content');
}).slideDown(1500);
});
});
});

When you do .html('.content'), you're telling jQuery to literally make ".content" the innerHTML of the container (ex.: div or span with class .contentContainer).
It's a little unclear what content you are trying to place in .contentContainer, but assuming it is the html of the first tag with the class ".content", you could use this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('nav ul a').click(function(){
var newTopicText = $(this).html();
$('#topic').fadeOut(function () {
$('#topic').text(newTopicText).fadeIn();
$(".contentContainer").slideUp(1500, function() {
// Change this line...
$(".contentContainer").html($('.content').html());
}).slideDown(1500);
});
});
});
Edit: Updated to make it take the content of the first tag with the class ".content".

Jquery scrolling back to top of page instead of required div

you can see here http://jsfiddle.net/Stratos123/qywaLszg/ the code for what i am trying to do. The isotope works perfectly and when you click the image the box opens up with the correct information but what happens is once the box is clicked the page scrolls to the top of the html page instead of scrolling to where the navigation is under the red box in example.
If i change the following code
// Portfolio Open and close
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.portfolio li a').click(function() {
var itemID = $(this).attr('href');
$('.portfolio').addClass('item_open');
to:
// Portfolio Open and close
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.gallery li a').click(function() {
var itemID = $(this).attr('href');
$('.gallery').addClass('item_open');
the portfolio opens and closes perfectly but then the isotop wont work.
Any ideas? I have been working on this for almost 2 weeks now. Going insane.

I guess you want something like this http://jsfiddle.net/qywaLszg/6/embedded/result/
Update
To work with your ul list you need to adjust the classes when you call the filter
Working example here http://jsfiddle.net/qywaLszg/9/embedded/result/
$('#filter li a').click(function () {
$('#filter li.selected').removeClass('selected');
$(this).parent().addClass('selected');
var selector = $(this).parent().attr('data-filter');
$container.isotope({
filter: selector,
animationOptions: {
duration: 750,
easing: 'linea',
queue: false
}
});
return false;
});
Just add in CSS
#portfolio{
position: relative;
}
And in the jQuery
$(".portfolio ul li a").click(function () {
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#top").offset().top
}, 400);
});

I guess, it because parseInt cannot be in a string
$(".portfolio ul li a").click(function() {
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: parseInt($("#top").offset().top)
}, 400);
});
also, on every click function, you could
return false;

How to keep next() function from hiding on hover?

I have a simple jquery menu and I am trying to keep the submenu visible if a user hover overs it. so that I can select it if needed. However, when I get off the hover element the submenu will hide. Obviously, that's what I want as long as it's not also hovering over the submenu.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.mainBar li a').hover(function(){
$(this).next().show() }, function () {
$(this).next().stop().hide()
});
});
http://jsfiddle.net/azxRX/1/

My opinion is to create this menus with css. Anyway i change a bit to this:
$('.sideBar > ul > li').bind('mouseover', openSubMenu);//This line sets it up so that when the mouse is moved over a li in myMenu, the function openSubMenu is called
$('.sideBar > ul > li').bind('mouseout', closeSubMenu);//This do exacly the same with the above but binds on mouseout instead.
function openSubMenu() {
///when the mouse rolls over the list item,
///the function looks for an unordered list within it.
///If one is found, it sets the style property display to block
$(this).find('ul').css('display', 'block');
};
function closeSubMenu() {
///This one does the oposite of openSubMenu function
$(this).find('ul').css('display', 'none');
};
fiddle

You can do this instead:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.mainBar li').mouseover(function () {
$(this).find('.subBar').show();
console.log('over');
});
$('.mainBar li').mouseout(function () {
$(this).find('.subBar').hide();
});
});
This is the jsfiddle

Remove dynamically generated div with jquery

I would like to add/remove a new div when the corresponding checkbox is checked/unchecked with jQuery. Here's my attempt:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#form1 :checkbox#checkbox1").click(function() {
var d = document.createElement('div');
if ($(this).is(":checked")) {
$(d).addClass("newdiv")
.html("This is a new div")
.appendTo($("#mydiv"))
.hide()
.fadeIn(1000);
}
else {
//$(".newdiv").fadeOut(1000);
$(d).fadeOut(1000);
}
});
});
</script>
The fadeIn process comes out smoothly. But when I tried to fadeOut $(d) using the same methodology, it didn't work: the new generated div remained on the page. I did some research and get a work around, with $(".newdiv").fadeOut(1000); (commented in the code above), but that's not the best solution for me I think. And also I really want to know why my first attempt didn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks.

There are few changes you can make
1. No need for the selector #form1 :checkbox#checkbox1 since you have an id for the checkbox, you can just use #checkbox1
2. Create the div using jQuery instead of using createElement $('<div/>')
3. After fading out the div you need to remove it from the dom
$(function() {
$("#checkbox1").click(function() {
if ($(this).is(":checked")) {
$('<div/>').addClass("newdiv")
.html("This is a new div")
.appendTo($("#mydiv"))
.hide()
.fadeIn(1000);
}
else {
$('#mydiv .newdiv').fadeOut(function(){
$(this).remove()
})
}
});
});
Demo: Fiddle
Another solution is to have a static div which will be shown and hidden
$(function() {
var div = $('<div/>').addClass("newdiv")
.html("This is a new div")
.appendTo($("#mydiv"))
.hide();
$("#checkbox1").click(function() {
if ($(this).is(":checked")) {
div.fadeIn(1000);
} else {
div.fadeOut(1000)
}
});
});

jsFiddle Demo
Every time your click handler runs, you're creating a new variable d with a new element. Instead, do that before the click handler, so each instance will reference the same element. I have included other optional improvements below.
A change event is more appropriate for checkboxes. Also, notice I made your selector just #checkbox1, since that is already unambiguous and maximally specific.
To get a better visual effect, don't add the element, hide it, then fade it in. In most browsers that will show the element flicker before it appears. Instead, use a class to hide it with css: .hidden {display: none;}. You can also use fadeToggle to toggle the visibility, instead of doing if/else. clearQueue removes extra events for multiple clicks during a transition, and makes transitions appear smoother.
Finally, use jQuery to create the element:
$(function () {
var $d = $('<div>', {
"class": "hidden",
text: "This is a new div"
}).appendTo("#mydiv");
$("#checkbox1").change(function () {
$d.clearQueue()
.stop()
.fadeToggle(1000);
});
});

You better make d a jQuery object.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#checkbox1").click(function() {
var d = $('<div class="newdiv"></div>');
if ($(this).is(":checked")) {
d.html("This is a new div")
.appendTo($("#mydiv"))
.hide()
.fadeIn(1000);
}
else {
d.fadeOut(1000);
}
});
});
</script>

Changing parent css on child hover

i have look around this forum a lot and can only find the opposite to my question, in other words i am looking to find how to change the parent div's background when the child div is hovered over, i can only find how to change the child div, when the parent is hovered over.
I have 1 parent div with an inner submit button:
<div class="ugd_ele_normal_base">
<input name="ugd_1" type="submit" class="ugd_ele_normal"/>
</div><!--end ugd_ele_normal_base-->
What i want is for when the submit button is hovered over, the parent css changes background.
I have tried a few things, but nothing seems to work.
Thanks for the help

I would use jQuery & CSS for this:
CSS
.black {
background-color: #000000;
}
jQuery
$(function() {
$('.ugd_ele_normal').hover( function(){
$(this).parent().addClass("black");
},
function(){
$(this).parent().removeClass("black");
});
});

$('input.ugd_ele_normal').on({
mouseenter: function() {
$(this).parent().css('background', 'url(/folder/image1.jpg)');
},
mouseleave: function() {
$(this).parent().css('background', 'url(/folder/image2.jpg)');
}
});
or short(er) version:
$('input.ugd_ele_normal').on('mouseenter mouseleave', function(e) {
$(this).parent()
.css('background-color', e.type=='mouseenter'?'url(/folder/image1.jpg)':'url(/folder/image2.jpg)');
});
and to retrieve the old image:
var bgImg = $('input.ugd_ele_normal').css('background-image'),
hvImg = 'url(/folder/image2.jpg)';
$('input.ugd_ele_normal').on('mouseenter mouseleave', function(e) {
$(this).parent()
.css('background-image', e.type=='mouseenter'?hvImg:bgImg);
});
or use classes:
.hoverClass {background: url(/folder/image2.jpg);}
-
$('input.ugd_ele_normal').on('mouseenter mouseleave', function() {
$(this).toggleClass('hoverClass');
});

You can do this way.
$("#ugd_1").hover(function(){
$(this).parent().css("background","red");
},
function(){
$(this).parent().css("background","none");
});

Live Demo :
http://jsfiddle.net/Z4QDC/2/

i would define some jquery to do this, and use a custom class.
//when the document is loaded, execute the following code
$(document).read(function(){
//on this elements hover, ...
$('.ugd_ele_normal').hover( function(){
//we add the class black to the parent on hover
$(this).parent().addClass("black");
},
function(){
//and remove it on exit hover.
$(this).parent().removeClass("black");
});
});
​
can be seen in action here:
http://jsfiddle.net/xBuyC/

Try:
$('input[name="ugd_1"]').hover(function() {
$(this).parent().css('background-color', 'COLOR');
});
Hope it helps.
